A cheap option that you might try is to buy a "T-Cut Polish" that is of a colour like your own.

It tries to apply colour as well as polish > blends in.

Might be at K-Mart or Supercheap.

so its not like polyglase or kittens heavy duty cut and polish?

No it's actually a polish with tint in it.

I've used it on a red Mazda before that was scratched up by a cat. The red "T-Cut" polish blended over 85-90% of the scratches. It would then need sealant over the top to harden.

Once you've used the white or silver coloured "T-Cut" polish to match & cover up the blemish > buy some sealant from Auto 1 or equivalent.

The salesman will know what a sealant is.

You only apply a little bit. A few drops go a long way.

Let the sealant harden for 2-3 days, then finally apply wax (Canauba)

If you don't apply sealant, the chances are, that coloured polish you applied can gradually come off.

Is it a solid white? Or metallic? If its solid, honestly, get a tin of ur paint mixed up at autobarn, $30 and a sheet of 1200 wet n dry. Scuff up the bar, lightly, mask up, spray, and let dry. No blending required. Its white. Guaranteed to fix the marking. Allow to set for 48hrs, light rub with the same sheet of 1200 then polish. If its a 32, the white code is more than likely 326....did this to my baby a few times.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
